Richards’ first year Trentside was an injury nightmare. He was able to join in training to some degree last summer but did not get on the pitch in pre-season. A loan spell with Olympiacos at least provided him with some game time, and he does seem to have benefited from the change of scene. Window shopping Nuno was clear after last Saturday’s win over Chesterfield that strengthening his winger options needed to be a priority. There are other areas of the pitch still in need of attention, too, and perhaps up front should be one.
The chance to do that against Sunderland was on, and several players did make positive bursts forward into the box. The Reds missed a few chances on this occasion, but how they finish the transfer window is where the real importance lies. Nuno wants a balanced squad with strength in depth in all areas.
There was no run-out for latest signing Nikola Milenkovic on Friday night. It is likely his first minutes will come against Millwall on Tuesday, as the second of three friendlies being played at the Pinatar Arena while Forest are in Spain.
